Dawfie, a child with autism, lives on a river road with her mother and brother. When her brother, Crow, leaves for the army, she spends every day watching the road from her rocking chair on the porch. Seasons come and go, but Dawfie continues to keep watch from the front porch and then from the front window when cold weather arrives. When will Uncle Carl's old blue truck come down the river road to bring her brother home? This book speaks to the love between a brother and sister and the heart-tugging separation caused by war. Beautiful pictures and compelling words make this a must read to children ages six to eight.
